Square Enix has announced that American owners of Dragon Quest XI will find some equipment in their starting bag that hits Dragon Quest fans right in the nostalgia. You can dress Dragon Quest XI’s Luminary in the clothes of Dragon Quest VIII’s hero from the get-go.
When you start Dragon Quest XI, you’ll find two items in your bag: Trodain bandanna and Trodain togs. Putting on these two items named after the pivotal castle town in Dragon Quest VIII gets you Eight’s clothes, though they’re just clothes, so you’re still the Luminary. The clothes are slightly better than your starting kit otherwise, but won’t last you the whole game. However, you will get a recipe to create more powerful versions of the clothes for late game content.
You can check out the trailer for the costume below.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age releases on PlayStation 4 and PC on September 4. A Nintendo Switch version of the game will be arriving later, though Square Enix has not indicated when.
